As far as wedding styles and themes go, the bohemian wedding trend isn't going anywhere. And these beautiful boho wedding ideas, incorporating elements of nature along with romanticism and individuality, are proof.

Borrowing inspiration from hippie culture, bohemian fashion has been influencing weddings for years now. Bohemian brides and grooms can embrace the theme for their nuptials by incorporating everything from airy dresses and flower crowns, to colorful textiles and cascading bouquets. The key is to feature natural beauty, so think live plants, dried flowers, sparkling geodes and a color palette that evokes nature. Of course, there are no hard and fast rules. We also fully support the couples who want to evoke that free-spirited style by using loud colors, texture, and mismatched fabrics. You might also consider going above and beyond to demonstrate your love of mother earth with sustainable elements.

Below, we've rounded up a ton of boho wedding ideas—from fashion to décor and everything in between—from real celebrations to inspire your own big day.

Boho weddings offer plenty of opportunity to get creative, especially when it comes to your wedding linens. Don't be afraid to mix and match, or stray away from traditional table clothes.
